Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds.

We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.

Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.

For some students school is the only place where they get a hot meal and a warm hug. Teachers are sometimes the only ones who tell our children they can go from an Indian reservation to the Ivy League from the home of a struggling single mom to the White House.

I'm an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.

It is my sincere hope that hospitals across Indiana and America continue to strive for excellence when it comes to providing medical care. This proposed rule will be harmful to communities who wish to upgrade their medical facilities.

Culture and tradition have to change little by little. So 'new' means a little twist a marriage of Japanese technique with French ingredients. My technique. Indian food Korean food I put Italian mozzarella cheese with sashimi. I don't think 'new new new.' I'm not a genius. A little twist.

Marriage of attraction is a gamble anyway so you might as well marry into a family that is similar to your own and make that much less of an adjustment. But the 'love marriage' as it is called is equally common in India now. But it would be interesting to do a comparison of what would work better. Marriage is hard work and it is a gamble.

The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad like the season and infinite in wealth and depth of tone but never hustled.

At a time when we are facing threats from nations such as North Korea and Iran and attempting to convince others such as India and Pakistan to become responsible nuclear powers it is vital that America reclaims the leadership we once had on arms control.

China and India will take the global leadership on climate change: they are suffering for it.

I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I'm trying to do creatively. At the same time I do think it's wonderful when I hear people say that it's inspirational that I'm an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse and my friends are a diverse group of people.

We're living in a time when the world has suddenly discovered India because it's run out of raw material for its imagination. The raw materials for imagination are inexhaustible here.

I think they quite like me when I work because I'm one of the safer directors to back because even if my films don't bring their costs in back home once they're shown outside of India they manage to cover the costs.

I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance but they were not happy.

India is a curious place that still preserves the past religions and its history. No matter how modern India becomes it is still very much an old country.

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

When the Nobel award came my way it also gave me an opportunity to do something immediate and practical about my old obsessions including literacy basic health care and gender equity aimed specifically at India and Bangladesh.

I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.

I believe economic growth should translate into the happiness and progress of all. Along with it there should be development of art and culture literature and education science and technology. We have to see how to harness the many resources of India for achieving common good and for inclusive growth.

You know I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.

We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory and when the Indians won it was a massacre.

I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
